Sweet car! This is the exact one I test drove but I got the black 2006 with the small spoiler on the back. Yeah, I didn't know they had an option for leather..I asked the guy at the dealership. He said only on the Legacy. hmmmmmmhttp://img234.imageshack.us/my.php?i...mallcar6de.jpg

What part of Mt. Hamilton did you drive on? Was it just the road in the valley between Mt. Hamilton and the mountain to the west? I've wanted to go up there, but the roads all suck from my side and last time I tried there was snow up there so they blocked it off. I might be getting a newer suby tomorrow and I'd like to take her up there.

I went in this like gorge thing straight through the middle of it, and then went via I5 back home.

--edit--

Also, the roads really vary, but it was a nice drive. As you can see from the pics, beautiful hills, and as long as you dont drive off the road you should be fine . A few places I went slow to avoid some gravel / rock kick up, and had to manuever around a pothole and debrie every once in a while, but still an awsome drive. Go for it!

Sweet, I definently will before I have to go back to school. I just upgraded to an 05 sti and I really want to try those hills. Carefully of course!

Almost 700 miles, is it going to be awsome once i can use the full RPM range even though I already hit peak torque?

Congrats on the purchase! Looks like a nice car! Seeing the leather seats makes me want to get mine done in leather too! So, what mods are you thinking about?? Don't be too afraid of the voiding of warranties, you have already drive your WRX so it's practically void anyway. Wheels & tires?? Tint? Engine management?? Think about the Cobb Accessport ECU for your car. You can go to stage 1, its undetectable by the dealer and gives you 35 more hp. Plus once you get that (they are about $600) it will support other mods (like turboback exhaust) and bump up the power even more...safely. There are many of us WRX & STi owners here who use it. Great mod, easy install, no voiding of the warranty (at least with Stage 1!)

I'm still not a fan of the front grill or the rear lights. BUT...the more I look at pictures, the more I start getting used to it. I posted that I was looking into an '05 WRX, but the '06 with the .5 liters more and better tranny...I dunno. The '05's are SO damn sexay!

Either way, congrats bro. Nice looking car. I like the no wing/spoiler option.
